Chuck Schwartz Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 This may be a long shot but a buddy of mind found this little nugget on Ebay today. "These are used goalie PADS and GLOVE & BLOCKER. They 36" inch pads in height and 11" inch in width. The Pads Glove and Blocker all meet the current NHL size requirements. The are all RBK Pro model. I used them for half a season and they are still in great shape. They are green with white trim. Any questions just ask and I will promptly respond." Link Any chance these are Grieco's?

Brucesky02 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 He's not under any NCAA regulations any more so it very well could be him selling off the equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper Deck Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wouldn't he had to have stolen the gear to be selling it - or does he (goalies) purchase the pads himself? For that matter, do D1 hockey players pay for their skates, gloves, pads, sticks, etc or is it given to them by their school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Matt Greene left early - he had to sign that pro contract for the big bucks to pay off his stick bill from UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 That's why Matt Greene left early - he had to sign that pro contract for the big bucks to pay off his stick bill from UND. at least he used wooden sticks up until his last part of his stay. these sticks now days are 200.00 plus per stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend that works at scheels bought a new stick that would have been $150+ for just over cost and paid less than $80. The schools get discounted prices on equipment just due to the large quantity that the purchase and through contracts with different vendors.

We have alot of generous support from alumni and fans. People buying hockey jerseys from auctions and things like that provide some of the funding for these guys, along with other donation's, ect. We are fortunate to have generous fans, it helps to keep the top talent coming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
